This is a "notice to remove 'personal property ' from public spaces because homeless people do not have US Constitutional rights in AmeriKKKa.

They've been coming for the homeless for decades but your silent because your not homeless.

They've been coming for non-white people for decades but your white so you barely make a whisper.

They've been coming for gay people for decades but your not gay so you barely make a whisper.

Soon, there will be no one left to stand up for you...

WAKE THE FUCK UP before your on the list.

The USA is a terrorist country ran by rich people. Are you rich enough?

“To eliminate homes at the same time that we say we’re having a housing crisis is unconscionable.”

The Trump Regime's funding cuts for rental assistance is a nationwide crisis.

"Fresno CA officials warn that Trump’s budget cuts 50% of funding for local rental assistance.

🚨Republicans will cause a “mass displacement event” & force 15,000 family residents to be homeless.

Local Landlords will Lose
$72 Million in income."

Fresnoland · Thousands of Fresno residents would lose their homes under Trump’s budget plan, officials warnBy Pablo Orihuela

"Another Day in Paradise" is a song written and recorded by English drummer and singer #PhilCollins. Produced by Collins along with #HughPadgham, it was released as the first #single from his number-one album ... But Seriously (1989). As with his song for #Genesis, "#ManOnTheCorner", the track has as its subject the problem of #homelessness and #paradise; as such, the song was a substantial departure from the #dance-#popMusic of his previous album.

@MercNews @top-stories-MercNews "War of words"? Let's look instead at actions:

Santa Clara County is investing $950 million into building housing that will directly tackle the affordability crisis and keep people from becoming homeless.

Meanwhile, San Jose Mayor Mahan is diverting voter-approved funds intended to build housing, and trying to dump unhoused people into County jails.

All while telling San Jose community members that we have to accept "responsibility" because it's our own fault if we can't afford a decent place to live.

Today in Labor History May 15, 1969: Police fought students in the Battle for People's Park at the University of California Berkeley, California. The battle was over a small strip of land that the students had claimed as community commons. Governor Ronald Reagan sent in National Guards to reclaim the Park. Police gunfire killed a bystander, James Rector, and wounded 60 others, including Alan Blanchard, who was blinded for life. Street fighting continued for 17 days. Another 150 demonstrators would be shot and wounded. The battle for the park has continued ever since, with the university continuing to claim ownership and threatening to turn the park into everything from units of student housing to a parking lot. The defenders of the park have done numerous direct actions over the past 50 years to defend the park, provide mutual aid, provide free food and clothes to unhoused folks, and offer community classes. As recently as 2024, the cops have attacked, beaten, and/or arrested park defenders.

And all of this isn't even speaking to the dangers outside of the four walls of that cramped hotel room.

Each week, I see more in the way of actions against #brown #immigrants, against the #disabled, against those on the spectrum, against those without stable housing.

Why is it that when the #DNC was due to be held in #Chicago, there was a massive #homeless camp sweep, yet #homelessness wasn't seen as a speaking point in #political debates?

From Liberty:

'In this cost-of-living crisis, any one of us might fall on hard times....

But for years, the Government, police, & local authorities have punished people who are struggling to make ends meet.

Labour promised 'change', but in their new Crime & Policing Bill, they want to introduce 'Respect Orders' for "anti-social behaviour" which could land you with up to two years in prison'!

Please support Liberty's actions on this!

Today marks a proud and hopeful milestone for the City of Thousand Oaks with the opening of the Thrive Grove Navigation Center, which uses tiny homes to provide temporary housing and wraparound services for unhoused residents.

The people of Thousand Oaks asked us to address homelessness, and today we made good on that request. Thrive Grove represents our commitment to compassion, to dignity, to the belief that everyone deserves a path forward.
